The county's 11-member planning commission is scheduled to review Bird's proposal at 7 p.m. Monday in the Oconee County Courthouse.

The commission rejected a similar proposal from Bird last year, when the development was called Creekside Country Club Estates.

Bird later withdrew the proposal after opponents voiced concerns about traffic and the possibility that the land holds archeological artifacts.

Oconee County commissioners are the final decision-makers on whether the project will be built, and are scheduled to hear recommendations from both the planning commission and the planning department before voting on the issue at their regular Aug. 7 meeting.

The site was settled in the late 1700s, according to the 1993 book, "The History of Oconee County, Georgia," compiled by Margaret F. Somme, but archeologists never have had the opportunity to examine the site because it's now on private land.

Many people in the Barnett Shoals area believe American Indians settled there as early as 10,000 years ago, said Bill Paul, who lives on Barnett Shoals Road and opposes the proposed development.

Paul and about 20 other residents living nearby believe the proposed development could bring as many as 4,000 vehicles a day to Barnett Shoals Road in 20 years, a road which is now "quiet and rural," he said, citing a 2005 report from the Northeast Georgia Regional Development Center.

Bird wants to discuss opponents' concerns and has scheduled a public meeting for 4 p.m. Saturday at the Creekside Country Club.
